if we are mutuals, i'd ask you to tag in any way or shape bugs & insects (especially real / realistic images of wasps, hornets, beetles, etc). this is the only necessary thing that needs to be tagged.
what does your blog title mean?
my blog title, "i am the ancient", is the first line of the âtome of strahdâ from the 5th edition d&d module curse of strahd.
what's up with the 5 colours of your blog?
they're the 5 colours that i use to describe my gender abstractly, which i lovingly refer to as âriangenderâ. here's the palette:
The amount of transmisogyny i see towards any "not well passing" transfem person is frankly sickening, especially towards traditionally feminine presenting ones. a lot of y'all will see a masculine or androgynous looking person in a skirt and just say shit like "uwu what a cute femboy" without a second thought, even when the person has said they are not and are in fact transfem.
also some of y'all need to learn how to not refer to someone as he/him just because of a deep voice, even if they're a fictional character, it's still fucking transphobic!
and trans people, don't think you're immune just because you're transgender. the majority of misgendering and casually transphobic and transmisogynistic remarks i've recieved have been from my trans friends and peers, especially tme people.
A part of being an adult is living with regret and not allowing it to consume you. The older you get, the more mistakes youâve made, opportunities youâve missed, people youâve disappointed. And every day you have to remind yourself to be kind and forgiving of yourself. You accept and love the you from the past and understand that itâs all a part of the process. Then you move on and live your best life, knowing now as old as you feel today, youâll never be this young again.
U know what fuck it. I love men. Men r funny men r hot men r cute men r sweet. I dont hate men I hate the patriarchy. I love my bf and I dont need to make jokes abt hating him to "actually be bi." There r plenty of amazing guys out there and we should fucking respect ppls attraction to men
People will say things like âif you think we shouldnât hurt people on purpose thatâs disrespectful and deliberately callous toward those who have been hurt on purpose alreadyâ and I have yet to find language to express the magnitude of how much thatâs not true. We shouldnât hurt people on purpose. Punishment is nothing. Cruelty is just cruelty and it just makes the world we live in a crueler world.
